Medical Nutrition and Disease

Nutrition assessment and management of patients is a vital aspect of everyday medical practice. At last here is a book created for medical, dietetic and nursing students that fucses on the basics of nutrition and the nutritional implications of disease. Co-authored by a physician and a registered dietitian, Medical Nutrition and Disease synthesises the science of nutrition with the clinical aspects of medicine. Because nutrition crosses over many disciplines, each chapter and case has been co-written by a specialist in a different field of medicine and dietetics. This integrated, cased-based approach offers a ocmplete perspective on the medical and nutritional implications of various clinical scenarios, with an emphasis on management of disease and prevention. With more than 75 multiple-choice questions and answers and 19 clinical cases, it is ideal for students who want to read and prepare for examinations at their own pace.
